Canadian city owns its own utilities
Fort William Ontario July 8 This city uniquely owns all public utilities including street railway water electric light and telephone and shows strong profits from these services. Last year taxes were halved by street railway profits totaling 28000 after expenses and funds. Residents enjoy low costs with residential telephone 12 dollars yearly business lines 24 dollars and water about 8 dollars per household. The municipal system faced a Bell Telephone challenge but now dominates local service. Public works chair Rankin says politics cannot hinder service, as residents hold commissioners accountable. Fort William and Port Arthur, a 19000 inhabitant twin city, are seen as a coming Chicago of the Northwest near Lake Superior with large harbor capacity and planned railroad growth.
